What is Fibroblasts Skin Tightening
Fibroblast skin tightening, also known as plasma fibroblast therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of skin by tightening and reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. It uses a handheld device that creates a small electrical arc (plasma) to stimulate fibroblast cells in the dermis, which are responsible for collagen and elastin production. This stimulation promotes skin regeneration and tightening.
Targeted Skin Tightening
Benefits of Fibroblast Skin Tightening
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Tightens loose or sagging skin.
• Improves skin texture and elasticity.
• Treats acne scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation.
• Provides a non-surgical alternative to facelifts, eyelid lifts, and other invasive procedures.
KEY BENEFITS
• Non-invasive: No cutting or stitching required.
• Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience mild swelling and scabbing for a few days.
• Safe for Most Skin Types: Though not recommended for very dark skin tones (risk of hyperpigmentation).
• Affordable Alternative: Compared to surgical procedures, it is significantly less expensive.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Plasma Energy: The device generates a small plasma arc when held close to the skin, which creates tiny controlled injuries (micro-trauma) on the surface.
2. Stimulates Healing: These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.
3. Tightening Effect: As the skin heals, it contracts and tightens, leading to a firmer and smoother appearance.
4. Long-Term Benefits: Over time, increased collagen production helps maintain the results and improve skin elasticity.
Treatable Areas
1. Upper Face
• Forehead: Reduces the appearance of horizontal wrinkles and tightens sagging skin.
• Frown lines: Targets the vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
• Brow lift: Elevates drooping brows for a refreshed look.
2. Eyes
• Eyelids: Treats droopy upper eyelids (non-surgical blepharoplasty).
• Under-eye area: Reduces puffiness and fine lines beneath the eyes.
• Crow’s feet: Targets the fine wrinkles radiating from the corners of the eyes.
3. Midface
• Cheeks: Tightens loose skin and minimizes wrinkles for a smoother, lifted appearance.
• Nasolabial folds: Softens the smile lines running from the nose to the mouth corners.
4. Lower Face
• Lips: Reduces fine lines around the mouth (smoker’s lines) and enhances lip definition.
• Jawline: Firms up the jawline, addressing sagging or jowls.
• Chin: Smooths skin and minimizes wrinkles on and around the chin.
5. Neck and Décolletage (Extended Areas)
Though not part of the face, fibroblast skin tightening can also improve the skin on the neck and chest, providing a more comprehensive anti-aging solution.
This procedure is highly customizable and can target specific problem areas while avoiding others, depending on individual needs and skin conditions.
FAQ
What is Fibroblast Skin Tightening?
What is Fibroblast Skin Tightening?
Fibroblast Skin Tightening (also known as Plasma Pen treatment) is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a plasma arc to create tiny controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This stimulates fibroblast cells in the deeper layer of the skin to produce new collagen and elastin, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance
What areas can be treated?
What areas can be treated?
Fibroblast Skin Tightening is versatile and can treat many areas, including:
- Upper & lower eyelids (non-surgical blepharoplasty)
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines & frown lines
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Neck & jawline
- Stomach & stretch marks
- Scars & skin tags (where appropriate)
How long do results last?
How long do results last?
Results can last up to 2–3 years depending on the individual, skin type, lifestyle, and natural ageing process. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 12–18 months for optimal results.
Is there any downtime?
Is there any downtime?
Yes. You may experience redness, swelling, and small crusts (carbon dots) in the treated area for around 5–7 days. These naturally fall off as the skin heals. Most clients return to normal activities within a week, but full skin healing and collagen production continues for several weeks.
Does it hurt?
Does it hurt?
A numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep discomfort minimal. You may feel a light stinging or heat sensation during the procedure.
How soon will I see results?
How soon will I see results?
Some tightening is visible immediately, but the most noticeable improvements develop over 8–12 weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
Is Fibroblast Skin Tightening safe?
Is Fibroblast Skin Tightening safe?
When performed by a trained, insured professional, the procedure is considered safe. It is non-invasive, with no cutting, stitching, or general anaesthetic. As with all treatments, there are risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.
